What attracted you to your field of study or research?
Coming from a research background, I was particularly interested in studying medicine because I wanted to have the opportunity to treat patients. Hopefully I will have the chance to use what I learn from my patients to improve treatments through more research later on!

What excited you about the upcoming year?
I am especially excited to explore my interests through the many and diverse med student clubs – looking forward to the work hard, play hard environment!

What’s one thing we might be surprised to learn about you?
I was once a Varsity captain for rifle shooting (marksmanship).

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully, I will have survived med school and will be happily getting on with my residency!

Best piece of advice: Sleep is important! (Some of my previous research was about sleep…)

Last vacation destination: Morocco – we did a camel trek in the Sahara!
